Thanks! I did get the counter today. I got Noir Absolute liner, the Enchanted eyeshadow quad, two concealers and a brow shaper. I'm thinking of getting the blush brush as well, but passed till now. Maybe if there is ever a makeup gift with purchase someday I can add it to an order.

You will LOVE this quad. It is amazing and has become my hg taupe quad! :) Great choices!

ONE OF EACH PLEASE!! It's always unpredictable what we get up here. We got Aphrodisiac l/s and Dominstrix nail polish, but nothing else that was released at the same time. We do tend to get the lipsticks, so I'll have to try them out. I'm still kind of lemming Flamingo, which looks like such a bright, dynamic pink shade.

I also couldn't help eyeballing the Edward Bess eye shadow quads that were at the bottom of that post...

Just back from a Tom Ford event. I bought Cognac Sable eyeshadow palette. I also bought Coco Ravish lipstick and Pink Guilt Gloss. I was thinking of trying Enchanted eye shadow palette but they were sold out. I think this made me really want it so I ended up going to another store and getting the last one. I really loved everything used on me especially the Shade and Illuminate (my next purchase for sure). These are my first Tom Ford products.

I LOVE deep mink...I wear it layered with Love Bruise lipgloss and it makes the most gorgeous, warm winter lip shade!

As for the new collection, I bought the blush, enchanted, the teal pencil, the lip and cheek stain and the gloss. Whilst I am LOVING enchanted and the pencil, I wish I hadn't got the blush (far too bright for my pale skin - even with a light hand!) or the lip and cheek stain (sounded like such a great product so I had to buy it but far too red for my pink skin!) ... I hate having buyers regret over such expensive items.

And just to confirm what others have said...the discontinied lippies can be found in CCO. I stocked up on my favourites (some of the old shades appear to be different to the new ones?)

Has anyone actually seen the brush set in person? It sounds devine but is very expensive!!

I finally got to see this brand in person. The packaging reminds me a bit of YSL, but more luxe. Are the lipsticks moist or dry? I read some reviews which say they are creamy and moist while some say they are cakey. For the price, I don't want to buy something which doesn't work on me.

Miss QQ, the lipsticks tend to be on the drier side. They are highly saturated, and I think the pigment levels are what makes them so dry. I always apply a healthy dose of moisturizer on my lips... then wipe it off to prep them. If you apply the lipstick to a completely smooth lip, the formula really grabs and stays put.

I agree with what Ingenue said. They're smooth, but they are not as soft as Guerlain lipsticks, for instance. I find they can be a little drying on my lips, but applying a good balm makes things better.

I really love the packaging. I think they're nothing like YSL which looks elegant a while then absorbs all the fingerprints. Tom Ford is indeed more luxe, but also more convenient as it is less heavier, but more sturdy, and really really elegant with the black which isn't fingerprint resistant but not as noticable.
But of course, best packaging ever for me would still ne Chanel Rouge Allure, even more so than Guerlain's lipsticks.

I also find the lipsticks a little drying, but then I find almost all ls drying. I apply a primer or balm before the ls, and that seems to help a lot. Plus the colors last for a very long time on my lips compared to other high end brands.

I bought all four. With these and the MAC MM ls, I am pretty much set for reds for a long time. I have to say that I love all of them. Yes I know that I am no help. LOL I have been wearing Diabolique and Narcotic the most.

Passed by the TF counter at Holt Renfrew here today and they did get the four new reds, as well as all the nail polishes.

I kind of surprised myself by buying Reckless. I figured I'd be more drawn towards the more intense colours, but something about Reckless just seemed quite different to me. One of the things that keeps me from buying more TF lipsticks is that they always seem to resemble shades I already have. For the price, I want something unique.

Thoughts?

Sorry Katred... I'm just seeing this.

I like them... but I have to be honest: they're not a must have. Diabolique is dark brownish red... not unique. Narcotic Rouge is very bright. I like it, but I have to be in the mood to wear it.

And the drying formula of the lipsticks doesn't really help matters.

My favorite red continues to be Rouge d'Armani in 400. It's perfect. Hourglass ICON runs a very close second.
